Carol's Grey Side Pent House

Overall excellent. Will return

We spend at least 1-2 weeks a year at Carols Grey Side...the location can not be beat! I was happy to see a few improvements this year, with new exterior doors and fresh trim paint. I would love for the mattresses to get upgraded...it’s never good to wake up to the perfect view with an achy back.

Perfection!

We have been coming to this unit for 15 years to vacation and spend time with family. Location is excellent. In my opinion... there are too many chairs in the unit for 6 people. I wish there was a little less furniture. Super happy with staff quickness in response to the oven panel going out and a clogged drain. It may be time for new carpet. We love the porch and the view so much! Look forward to coming back next year.

Very pleased with the unit. It was very clean and comfortable. Location is perfect - right on the beach, close to village and great restaurants! A little trouble with the elevator and one tub drain was stopped up! I would recommend the unit. Wonderful vacation!

I have been coming to Carol’s Greyside PH since it opened in 2006 and each year’s experience improves over the last one. Carole's decorating taste is impeccable. The upkeep here is excellent with a recent repainting and all new deck access door locking systems. This is a real home away from home. We look forward to opening the summer with 3 weeks stay. Undercover parking takes care of guests. We are within walking distance or a 10 minute drive to some of the finest dining in GA. On a beach within a block of the lighthouse we watch ships from all over the world pass in the canal just a few hundred yards from the third floor deck. All the shopping and Resturaunts are within a 2 blocks walk. A really great place to vacation!

It doesn't get any better than sitting on the porch rocking chairs looking at the tide coming and going.
Such a beautiful and relaxing place.

A perfect vacation!

A perfect vacation!

Carols Greyside is a great beach house that is perfect for my family to enjoy time together.

Very clean with plenty of amenities! Perfect location for my family!

We’ve been coming to this house for many years. It’s a place we recharge our souls at. It never disappoints. Carol is the consummate hostess !

Property was clean and well maintained. The porches are the BEST place to sit and read - positioned perfectly for shade most of the day. Location is perfect - steps from the ocean and just a nice walk to downtown. Restaurants were all excellent. Don't miss the ice cream store.

My family has been vacationing here since 2006. At high tide we are 20’ from the Atlantic Ocean - southern view. The weather is very consistent with the time and month we can plan and count on. This is perhaps the most solidly built structure on the island. Annual maintenance on the building and private floor elevators assures us of a very secure stay. Maid Service is performs an impeccable job between renters. The third floor Pent House is a beautifully decorated upscale beach front home with antiques, artwork and furnishings just made for entertaining or a very private quality of living. A spacious covered deck surrounds the south and east side of the PH and comes with cushioned chairs, rockers and wood benches for those who want to see the sunrise in the am and sunset in the pm. The kitchen has every amenity imaginable. Not withstanding home cooking, some of the island’s finest dining is within a few blocks from an 8:00 am breakfast of bagels & lox served with a Bloody Mary (don’t ask for spicy hot) to an early evening piano bar seafood Resturaunt that presents fish and meat dishes made famous around the world. And of course Brogans is still on the lighthouse park to serve a beach front quickie of burgers and fries. Parking on the ground floor of Carol’s Greyside PH accommodates six vehicles under the building. The management staff at Golden Isle Realty has answers for any question and 24hr service for any mechanical requirements.

We go to Carol's 3 times a year, and it gets better each time. The PH has fantastic new appliances, outdoor seating, etc. The location is literally 50 steps from the sand, and a short walk tot he pier...would be hard to beat.

Our first trip to St. Simons Island, but I hope it won't be our last! The condo penthouse was lovely and in a great location.

Carole’s Grey Side Pent House is a total experience worth the stay in and of itself. Finely decorated and thoughtfully laid out with spacious wraparound deck and a furnished roof deck with unobstructed view of open ocean to the East and South, and of Jekyll Island and the very busy international shipping channel to
Brunswick Harbor to the west and spectacular sunsets.

It was, and always is wonderful.

We loved the pent house, location, ease of arrival. Only issue we had was when we arrived late Sunday afternoon and went into the pent house, it seemed fairly clean. There were a few things that seemed off, but having not stayed there we just weren't sure. Ex. kitchen garbage was not empty. Used soap bars were in the showers and on bathroom counter, and the beds were made but not quite like they should be. There were no towels in bathrooms, but we found them later in closet. It wasn't until the next morning when the cleaning lady showed up that we knew it had not been cleaned. In fact, we slept in an unclean bed!!!!! Covid???? Seriously. We had to tell her to come back, because we weren't even dressed, yet. I probably could have over looked it, and actually did in that I was nice about it, but when I stopped by the rental office to make sure it would be cleaned that day, the young girl showed no remorse, except to pretty much say, "Sorry about that." I know things can get mixed up some times, and it did not affect our over all stay, but I just felt like during this time of a pandemic, that a little more concern shown would have been warranted. Once everything was cleaned, the place is fabulous and we really did love staying there.

What a gorgeous view from one of the best decorated Penthouses you will find on the Island. Carol’s Greyside Penthouse Is served by private elevator from the multi car garage. View Jekyll Island from the third floor ‘out turn’ deck for early evening cocktails. Watch 7,000 vehicle car carrying ships coming into the US from Germany, England and Japan pass right before your nose. Fully equipped kitchen feeds multi family/guests when weather denies outdoor dining to early morning Or late evening sunset observers and beach walkers. Each floor accommodates king and queen size full bath/shower and TV equipped BR’s. Heat, Air, and working gas fireplaces to take the chill off an occasional Nor’easter. Carol’s Greyside Penthouse is only three to four blocks from any place you would want to dine or shop at. Private NetWork serves the Penthouse exclusively for horse or stock watching. Washer and dryer are available to meet wet bathing and beach apparel needs. Nothing is missing from these pristine premises except your occupancy! Oh! Fresh early morning bait at the dock is only 100 meters down the beach - you must provide the casting tackle. Dolphins will tell you which way the tide is running.

Been going for 45 years and I loveSt.Simons !

This house is always such a great get away. Carol keeps it in excellent condition, it’s on the water, and walking distance to everything. It’s perfect !

It was a great stay , it always is, and we believe it will always be our favorite place to call home. We have been staying for years and we expect to stay for many more years.

Amazing! A penthouse view of the ocean and Jekyll Isle. Clear views of the sunrise from the east end of the wrap-around deck and sunsets from the west end of the deck. The beach view at low tide is fantastic. Wall to wall, floor to ceiling glass panels and doors literally bring the outside in. Very spacious and well appointed - a kings palace to be sure! Inside or out on the deck, day or night
was the most difficult decision to make. Fine dining is only 3 blocks walk under Spanish Moss laden trees. A shoppers paradise - not your typical sea shore tourist fare. See you next year same place, same time.

This was our 4th stay at Carol's Greyside. We have stayed in Carol's penthouse three times and Carol's II once. As usual this place rates a A++ with us. Very well furnished with beautiful decor. We really enjoy staying at Carol's.

It was perfect , just like it always is when we stay there. We stay from 4-5 months a year.

We loved everything about our rental. We originally picked out and paid for another location but there was a problem and were given another location but another problem and ended up here. The company handled everything very well.

Excellent! We love Carols Greyside cottage! We have been coming here for years and love it every year!
Golden Isle realty is fabulous to work with. They do a great job at customer service.

We have been coming every summer since 2006. Clean, comfortable and well maintained with private WiFi and elevator serving Pent House only. Furnishings and amenities fit for a King. Parking garage 10 from the elevator and beach entry literally as you step outside. The kitchen is complete for any cuisine. A fireplace in the living room accommodates the occasional early morning and stormy day chills. Three blocks of Oceanside walking to am breakfast or pm fine dining. Wonderful place - we will be back.
